Techniques and methods of shooting ice and snow

Shooting ice and snow is as important as shooting other scenery. Scene selection includes scene selection, foreground and background selection, and the position and size of the subject in the picture.

Scene refers to panorama, middle scene and close-up. The purpose of choosing large scenes such as distant view and panorama is to show and create momentum, so that readers can appreciate the vast world of ice and snow or snow-covered mountains and rivers.

What light is good? The answer to this question is simple, that is, as long as it is well controlled, you can take good photos in any light. However, in comparison, ice and snow photography is the best shot against the light.

How much exposure should be increased? Generally speaking, it is ideal to increase the exposure of 1-2 after the exposure value is measured by the camera exposure meter.

White and black are colored and colorless, and ice and snow are white, so it is very important in color configuration. Especially when using color film to shoot ice and snow, proper color configuration will add a lot of color to the ice and snow photos; Improper configuration will also affect the artistic effect of photos.

Embedding red in ice and snow photos can not only make the red scene jump out of white, but also become a visual interest point, forming a prominent effect of a little red on a white background, and can also play a role in correcting "Lan Xue".

If you shoot with film, when you shoot with color film, white snow will be dyed blue because of the reaction of skylight color. In severe cases, the white snow in the photo will become "Lan Xue". In order to correct this "Lan Xue" effect, some people advocate adding a UV mirror, but sometimes the effect is not ideal. If some red scenes can be dotted in the snow scene, the viewer's vision will eliminate the blue from the snow stained with blue.
